About CDs--Please Don't Nag


Myrna wrote: Dear Family,

I have now realized that there are duplicate photos in the batch of CDs I am sending each of you. I know that I have been cautioned before about not doing this. However, I will be hanged if I will do all of these over just to eliminate the duplicates. When you look at them and realize that I have wasted disk space, just remember that it was all at my expense: time and money. Therefore, either be patient and understanding or, at least, be quiet.

I know what I did. I had the photos in different files. A CD holds approximately 311 photos. Some were the files where I put un-doctored photos--originals. I keep them just for myself. The other files were where I put the ones I have lightened or darkened or whatever. The other day I had several computer problems with my DSL, keeping my printer up and running and connecting to e-mail. Allen helped me out. I now have a new Ethernet switch. During that process I became confused about what was what on my desktop. I know, I should name files so that I don’t. However, they were on my desktop in a certain order and then they weren’t. By the way, some of the files won’t save at all because “the originals are no longer available.” I thought I had this all figured out before I moved to CD. I didn’t. Oh, well. I call it live and learn.

Please don't nag.

Love, M
